Link. Just a month ago, a collector discovered this very nice video in Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYjgHLFZMa0 which shows a salesman in a Nintendo store trying to provide support to customers. The interesting thing about this video is that if you look closely you can see a few blisterpack games hanging on the back!! Besides the fact that seeing a video of the games in a shop is something unique, it also tells us when these games appeared in shops because it was created back in 1991! As you can understand, finding similar games intact after 20 years is something very difficult so whenever you see a game like this very nice donkey kong 2 blisterpack make sure you grab it as prices won't stay the same after a few years! The end price was 333 pounds which the price one would expect to pay for such an item nowadays..

You can't even find loose games cheap unless you are ready to compromise with items in not so great condition.. This is why most sellers won't sell collections of games in a single auction and here's an example why. These 15 game&watch games would probably fetch twice the price this auction fetched if they were sold separately. Nevertheless it was a great discovery for a certain buyer and who wouldn't be happy with such a purchase - collector or not. The BIN price was 230 euros which is a bargain.

It's a common trend among companies that sell toys (especially lcd ones but software companies do it too) to repackage them and resell them for budget prices a few years after their initial release. Nintendo did the same thing with most of the game&watch games, repackaged them in blisterpacks and sold them in the late 80s, beginning of the 90s. Most multi-screen and wide screen games appeared in this form probably as an effort to sell remaining stock. This was a good and a bad thing at the same time. It was a good thing for collectors who can now find the games protected and in great condition and a bad thing because it was too little too late, noone was paying attention to game&watch games in the 90s - kids were after the gameboy at the time - so only a few of them were sold and are saved today. Fortunately items like this very rare blisterpack shipping box can still be found if you're patient enough and can be bought for decent prices as the end price of 225 pounds of this item shows.
